Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Wesley Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to be pushing for center Ryan Jensen in free agency. But they'll be competing with the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens among others teams. Will getting into a bidding war for a free agent center in his 30s be worth the salary cap investment? Especially when you consider Tyler Linderbaum and Zion Johnson in the NFL Draft as potential prospects who could be available in the first round, the Steelers will have some tough decisions on their hands. That being said, Linderbaum and Johnson are both prospects that could potentially replace Kendrick Green as the Steelers' center, but would Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert do that? The Steelers rarely give up on players drafted in the top 100 of a class, but that's maybe a reason why Johnson could be their pick because of his strength and flexibility to play center and guard. Finally, a review of the Locked on NFL Draft podcast's mock draft has the Steelers taking quarterback Malik Willis with the 20th overall pick, and Aaron Rodgers trade talk.
